| In this sixth episode of #AskGlaston flat tempering series, we explore how to avoid loading delays in tempering.
| Mikko Rantala on Glastory: Glass tempering is an energy-hungry process, and not just because of the heat. Cooling the glass also demands a surprising amount of power, especially with thinner products.
| As labor shortages and efficiency demands grow, automation is transforming glass tempering—starting with AI-driven batch building that boosts productivity, cuts energy use, and maximizes furnace performance.
| This paper presents a groundbreaking technological development in the optical quality of tempered glass.
| This study examines prestressed glass specimens that are 0.5mm, 1.1mm, and 2.1mm thick in comparison to glass of the same thicknesses that have not been enhanced by the novel stiffening method.
| Modern tempering technologies offer impressive energy efficiencies for glass processors. But, have you ever come across energy-saving claims that seem too good to be true?
| Minor fluctuations in the tempering process of architectural glass lead to residual stress differences resulting in birefringence and undesired optical iridescence, also known as anisotropy effects.
| The latest Glastory blog explores the evolving role of automation in glass processing, highlighting examples of how it is transforming efficiency in the industry.
| Optical stress measurement in tempered glass has its challenges. Stresses can be measured optically based on the optical anisotropy behavior of the glass.
| What glass processes gain the most from automation? In this blog, we’ll focus on some of the particularly promising application areas.
| When finding, training and retaining personnel for routine jobs is a challenge, processing automation offers a game-changing solution.
| The two common defects—White Haze and Anisotropy—are often misunderstood but are not the same.
| In this latest Glastory blog, Uwe Risle explains why thin triple IG units are gaining popularity and what the key differences are between thin triple IGUs and other insulating glass types.
| The latest Glastory blog gives insights on the experiences of the tempering process Autopilot users.
| Glass is most often heat treated before using it as a structural material. In this context, thermal tempering is the most effective and efficient method to enhance the load bearing capacity and strength of glass.
| Today talking about the trends, challenges, and innovations of flat glass lamination on Glastory.
| Proposal for a simplified engineering approach.
| In the latest Glastory blog post, Per Jensen analyzes the holistic approach to grinding.

| Glass tempering is a process that can be made in many ways to get tempered glass that meets the standards. The selected way is usually chosen by the operator and is almost always based on experience instead of science.
| Investigations of different positions of the sphere and the satellite and their effect on stress distribution are studied. Both, experimental observations and computational FEM simulations are compared.
